The slaughter that followed the German attack on the Soviet Union in June 1941 is without equal in history. The most terrible crimes of the entire war took place in the name of anti-communism in the german occupied territories on the eastern front. Civilian Casualties in these areas were so enormous, so continuous, and so extreme that even counting the dead has proved impossible. The evidence indicates that between 3 and 4 million captured soviet soldiers were intentionally starved to death in german pow camps between 1941 and 1944. The generally accepted figure for all soviet war dead is 20 million human beings, about 15 per cent of the total population of the country at that time, but the destruction was so vast that even this number can be only an educated guess.

The nazis deliberately used famine as a political weapon in the east, and it soon became the largest single killer. As the german invasion of the USSR began, General Erich Von Manstein, later a top advisor to the West German Defense Ministry stated: In hostile cities a large part of the population will have to starve. Nothing may, out of a sense of mistaken humaneness, be distributed to prisoners of the population unless they are in the service of the german wermacht.

This was a war not only of conquest but of extermination.
